MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Before any cleaning operation, switch the apparatus off and unplug it.
1. Always unplug the unit before cleaning.
2. Drain and clean before storing.
3. The exterior of the unit may be cleaned by wiping with a damp cloth and buffing
with a dry cloth. (Apart from the electrical controls when the unit is off, any part of
the humidifier may be wiped with a soft damp cloth and buffed with a dry cloth,
ensuring the unit is unplugged.)
4. There may be some lime deposits in the nebulizer, particular in areas with hard
water. Overcome this drawback by cleaning the nebulizer with water and vinegar
on a soft cloth regularly, as follows:
A. Dampen a cloth with vinegar and wipe the nebulizer gently, until the lime
deposits disappear completely.
B. Rub down with a dry cloth and remove remains of humidity.
C. Do not rub the nebulizer with solid objects.
D. Do not clean with chemical products.
5. Clean the inside of the water tank at least once a week, as follows:
A. Fill the tank with clean water adding a few drops of bleach or a similar
disinfectant. Close the tank completely with its cap and shake forcibly.
B. Rinse thoroughly.
Note: Water accumulated over long periods may create bacteria and mildew (fungus).
6. Clean all the humidifier parts and then dry them well before storing the apparatus in
its box.
7. With each change of water the use is recommended of the brush included, to
remove dust and any lime remains on the nebulizer.
8. Do not place the nebulizer directly under the tap
9. Never immerse the unit in water or let water enter the air outlet or any other
openings.
10. Water must not get inside the base part; should that happen, take it to an authorized
service center before using it again.
STORING YOUR HUMIDIFIER
ƒ Save the box for off-season storage.
ƒ Make sure the tank, reservoir and all parts are thoroughly dry before storing.
ƒ If water is left in the unit during storage, it may harden and leave deposits that can
prevent the unit from operating properly.
ƒ Leave the water tank loose to prevent the water cap and gasket from sticking
together. This will prolong the life of the gasket.
